  • Hi everyone!
    This is a repost of a video from last year because the music on the original got messed up. We are doing a bit better financially now and we turned off the GoFundMe a long time ago.
    We just posted this as a sweet video for people to enjoy! We would love it if you would direct your donations to your local cat rescue shelters and other kitty GoFundMes instead. However, if you would like to help with cat litter and food, we do have an Amazon wish list below. :)
    One GoFundMe that I highly recommend donating to is "Help My Beans At Purrkanda." This woman rescues cats and kittens that are on death row, and she has a house full of them.
    www.gofundme.com/f/funds-for-...
    If you would like to help us out with cat food and litter, you can check out our Amazon wish list www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls...

    JARVIS' FUR: Jarvis got into a bad state for a while due to stress with our ginger cat and the dry food we were feeding him. We tried hard to clip and comb his mats ourselves since we could find no one who would trim Persians. Then we found a wonderful lady who shaved him around last May. We changed his diet completely and voila! He is like a new cat! His fur has grown in, it's silky smooth & doesn't matt anymore! I you'd like to see how handsome & happy he now is, you can see current pics of him on Instagram: / blackandwhitebrigade6

    I'm a senior. My son was demolishing an old barn and found a kitten about 10 weeks old. The farmer said he would drown her and my said he'd take it and brought it to me and said he'd find it a home. She looks like your black and white kittens. Anyway, about 2 months later, he told me he found her a home. I said cool, find them another cat, this little girl isn't going anywhere.
    That was 8 years ago. She is the best girlfriend anyone could have. She has many names. Depends on my mood or what kind of trouble she got into and how annoying she is looking for attention lol. Every morning at day break, I get a paw rubbing across my cheek. Never with her claws. Then sits beside my chair at her treat dish and has that while I have my coffee.
    Never ever thought I'd ever get that attached to a cat. I always had dogs.

She is part of a catch neuter and release group and they get cats fixed and put back into there colony. All the babies are adopted out once they have been fixed and vaccinated and ready for there new forever home. Your cat family are simply amazing and look very happy.

    I am crying watching your story as my husband and I rescued a pregnant cat this summer. We have 4 resident cats but took her because she was friendly and would let us touch her and bring her inside. I set up a nursery and in September, she had four adorable kittens. All girls and all calico just like her. Our plan has been to adopt them as we already have four cats of our own but we have grown so attached. I battle with feeling like that "crazy cat lady" but also feel extreme sadness and guilt at the thought of separating this little calico family. Thank you for sharing your journey and best of luck!

      When one of my cats had her second litter of (4) kittens, we knew we couldn't keep them because we already had 5 cats (including her first two kittens). I was _devastated_ at the thought of splitting them up. I put off advertising them until they were 14 weeks old, but evenntually, my husband put his foot down. There were 3 calico and a black one. I secretly only advertised the calico ones. I had many people contact me within minutes of me putting them online, but one family was very determined and contacted me both online and by phone. They had three children and wanted all three babies. I was _delighted!_ They would get to stay together! It was the best possible outcome (other than getting to keep them!) that I could hope for. I'd never imagined they would be that lucky. I messaged my husband and told him I had found a home for the calico ones. I still to this day remember the final line of that text message: "and we're keeping the black one." He never said a word about it and she got to stay with her mama and siblings. I hope you will be lucky enough to find a family to take all of them and keep them together, you never know until you try. x

    Thank you for rescuing these precious fur babies. My roommate and I fostered many feral mamas with litters, and orphaned kittens.
    We had a black and white feral mama with 4 babies ( one was a munchkin ) our vet, and her husband fell in love with, and adopted the munchkin ( he had health problems, but they got him well )
    The mama was adopted, along with her Tuxedo, leaving two brothers, a black and white, and another tuxedo.
    It took me 2 months of going in the room with them everyday, feeding treats, playing with toys, then one day I was able to pet the tuxedo. After that, his brother slowly warmed up to me, but, they want nothing to do with anyone else, so I adopted them.
    We have a feral mama here tortoise shell, who’s like your mama, she doesn’t want to be touched, but she’s happy, and loves the cats. And my roommate adopted a lynx mix. Total… we have 8 cats. It is very expensive I agree. But we have a lifetime of love from these babies, we wouldn’t change a thing. 🐾🐾💕🐾🐾💕

    My husband and I understand. We adopted 2 sisters & their brother from a shelter. After a few months a pregnant female moved into our garage. Long story - short, we ended up with 10 cats, and wouldn't be without any of them. Don't even ask about the food & cat litter!😺😸😹😻😼😽🙀😿😾💖

    I just lost two cats to cancer. They always got the best, grain free food, healthy treats and best care. After spending bout 2K on vet bills and hundreds on food, litter and toys, I decided to switch to a cheaper food and supportive supplements for my remaining 4 kitties. And they are doing much better in fact. Of course all my kids are foster fails and farm rescues.

    They keep us busy and we spend a lot for food, litter sand, phitotherapy, omeopathy etc. Their love, joy, good health and life are a blessing for us and a daily joyful company 💙🙏💚
    These last 3 years have been even harder economically, but we resist the pandementia with love, integrity, courage and liberty ☀️

      Hope to mention here that also with so many homeless, many love animals & their are shelters that their watch animals during day, so they can look for work, or just try to stay afloat on the streets, & shelters don't allow pets. So donating to these or donating yourself to help w supplies, $ or help cleaning, etc, is a great unknown need esp. In the cities!!

    When I was a kid, we lived on a farm & had a bunch of cats. They were all black, or black & white. My mom started the names off with naming a black one: Midnight. The five of us kids took over. & followed that theme, and we named them: Day & Night, Last Night, Night Before Last, Tomorrow Night, Twilight, Yesterday, Night Before Day ... All silly kid-named cats!. 😂

    There was one point, my family had 11 cats (and three dogs). Some we managed to catch and get in the house, the others live in our garage, as they were too feral to touch. We built cat houses and bulked up their diet to deal with the cold weather. Many years later, we have four cats. We are lucky enough to have a cat sanctuary down the road, who have helped us, catch and then spay the cats.

    We adopted a feral kitty in Jacksonville Fl in Oct 2022. We could not pet this wild child. After a few weeks I decided to coax her with canned cat food in a little bowl on my lap. She came over very scared but took a few ilcks and kept coming back for more. Then I slowly touched her for a moment. We kept this up for weeks and it made a wonderful difference. She started trusting us. Now she jumps on our laps for pets. She is a year old now and we look forward to more progress in the next year as we work on holding her. Callie is worth the effort.

    I feed all neighborhood strays that come to my porch. We have a mama kitty of our own who gave us 5 kittens and we adopted out two of them to a good friend and kept the others. We have only had dogs and raising cats is quite different. We currently feed another mama cat and four kittens and wish I had money to trap her and get them fixed. It costs us $70 weekly just for what we have, not including flea meds and other medications or vet visits. We have also adopted to strays that decided they were home and my daughter adopted one who showed up on her RV doorstep in our backyard. Now we have 7 that are officially ours but 5 more we are working to spay and neuter. Let’s pray for each other and speak encouraging words over each other for what we are trying to do! Thank you for loving these precious babies and I pray Abba richly rewards you and gives you peace and joy in your heart!

    We started out wanting just black, white, black and white or white and black...but then my momma who lives with us wanted a grey cat...and then a momma kitty in our neighborhood wanted us to raise her kittens...so, now we have 9 kitties and a mix of colors 😉❤️🐈

      It is VERY difficult to afford all the food for them. My husband is totally blind and hearing impaired and I am disabled due to congestive heart failure and other things and momma is 80...
      Kitties ONLY eat the best food (we don't eat as healthy because we skinny on US, NOT on our babies). They get wet food twice a day and kibble all the time, so no one goes hungry...but feeding so many costs over $300/mo. So I understand the struggle. Then factor in vet bills...ugh!!! Thank GOD for Care Credit because vets are expensive when you have 9.
